I'm one of them. ;) Anybody can scout from the top of the hill. Tom's talent lays in the ability to scout from the bottom of a valley. He was able to break a trail that many others have since followed. Things that seem as obvious as "e=mc^2" today weren't obvious back when he started. Through logical reasoning and deduction he was able to infer a number of things that got the DRCS community onto that high hill so that everyone else can easily plan a route that avoids a series of hazards. Some of the things he inferred ended up being mistakes. What's wrong is generally agreed upon by all, though the solutions called for differ. > To me it looks like Monotone and especially GIT exacerbated the > competition among VCS projects, and also paved the way for a new, > better, storage model.
